Energy Analysis: JEDI

The Job and Economic Development Impact, or JEDI, models are easy-to-use models that analyze the economic impacts of constructing and operating power generation and biofuel plants at the local and state level. First developed to model wind energy development impacts, JEDI has expanded. We now offer models to analyze the job and economic impacts of biofuel plants and concentrating solar power, coal and natural gas power plants.

On this site, you can learn more about JEDI, download the models for free, and get help.
